Front contact photo-electrochemical H-Cell setup (redox.me)
This is a horizontally mounted, double compartment photo-electrochemical H-Cell used to simultaneously or individually investigate thin film photo-anode and photo-cathode. The cell elements are made of PEEK and Fluoropolymers. It well fits aqueous (FKM O-Rings) and organic solvent (FFKM O-Rings) electrolyte requirements. The construction is gas-tight having two separate chambers, each equipped with gas inlet and outlet. This allows bubbling the solution and evacuating gases. Chambers are separated with an ion-exchange membrane (e.g., DuPont’s Nafion® membrane), so the electrochemical products appearing at photo-anode and (photo-)cathode do not affect the opposite electrode.
Application note:
This cell allows several approaches to perform measurements in 2- or 3-electrode setups. It is designed to investigate performance of a thin film photo-anode or photo-cathode (e.g. nanocrystalline material or conducting polymer) deposited on a rigid or flexible transparent substrate (typically fused quartz glass). The counter electrode is mounted in the second chamber either in a top casing or attached on the side of the cell as a thin film deposited on rigid or flexible substrate. The reference electrode is mounted in a top casing of the same chamber as the studied photo-electrode. Various auxiliary electrodes are suitable for this cell including metal wire, gauze and foil electrodes as well as non-metal electrodes and thin films. Typical applications include: basic photochemistry (photo-catalysis), photolytic water splitting, photoinduced charge separation and photo-corrosion.

USB Potentiostat Galvanoplot
Read moreUSB Potentiostat Galvanoplot is a super small, low-cost and affordable device suitable for dedicated volume applications, which is optimized for screen-printed sensor and biosensor applications. It can be used in many other research areas and with other electrochemical sensors, for corrosion measurement, battery and super-capacitors or fuel cells.
It is capable of performing all common Amperometric and Voltammetric electrochemistry protocols (CA, LSV, CV, DPV, NPV, SVW, GAL) and can be used with three electrode (WE/RE/CE) and two electrode (WE/RE-CE) setups. Plug the device directly into an Android mobile device through OTG port for a true on-site analysis experience. It is possible to choose from two types of interfaces allowing direct insertion of the BVT SPE sensors or the use of 3 classical electrodes with 2 mm banana plugs (WE, RE, CE).

AC1.GP. Electrochemical sensor with a working electrode of guaranteed purity
Read moreBasic amperometric three-electrode sensor with patented structure made by thick film technology.
Dimensions: 25.40 mm x 7.26 mm x 0.63 mm
WE material: gold, platinum, silver, copper, iron, nickel, cobalt, chromium, tantalum, irridium, rhenium, magnesium, palladium, zirconium and others
*Selection of sensor electrode materials other than those listed above is possible upon agreement with the customer.
The sensor is made on a corundum ceramic base. Working, reference and auxiliary electrodes are applied to this surface. Working, reference and auxiliary electrodes are made of different materials. At the end of the sensor there is a contact field that is connected to the active part by silver conductive paths that are covered with a dielectric protective layer. The working electrode of the sensor with a diameter of 2 mm is made of a material of guaranteed purity of up to 99.99 % depending on the selected material– standard layer thickness 0.0125 mm.
We also offer a working electrode made of polished gold AC1P.W*.R*, with homogenous surface with roughness less than 1 µm.
We also offer activated graphite sensors on customer request.

SIRE Sensor Cell Set (Sensor with Injectable Recognition Element)
Read moreThe SIRE Sensor Cell Set consists of a sensor with an integrated non-removable specialised chamber.
The set also contains a syringe which will allow the injection of the recognition element (Enzyme).
The SIRE Sensor Cell uses the concept of soluble enzymes into a reaction chamber separated from the sample by a semi permeable dialysis membrane. The analyte (for example maltose), enters into the reaction chamber by diffusion. The analyte reacts with the recognition enzymes creating H2O2 which is oxidized on a screen printed Pt electrode. The current corresponds to the amount of analyte.* For this product, we recommend our customers use the Training Service from BVT.
